Take a journey through the seasons in this large-format paperback edition of Helen Ahpornsiri's stunning debut.

About the Author
Helen Ahpornsiri creates intricate collages using real flora and foliage. Each illustration is made up of hundreds of leaves and flowers which are foraged or grown, then preserved with traditional flower pressing methods. The plants are organised by species or colour before being cut and delicately arranged to form birds, insects and other creatures; all filled with tiny patterns and tangles of plant life. Helen lives in Eastbourne, Sussex, in the UK.

An extraordinarily beautiful celebration of nature through the year, using nature itself * Juno magazine *
